Sewing!

I am an avid believer that women are to be homemakers. I am sure that everybody has their own definition of homemaking, but I think part of it is sewing. You better believe that I will be making my children's Halloween costumes or those dumb outfits they will have to wear at school programs; they will be the cool kids with the cool mom. I might make table cloths and place-mats if they are cheaper that way. Although those are some fun things, there are so many other practical uses for sewing. Some include hemming pants, shirts, and skirts (all of which I have to do anyway as petite as I am), patching wholes in jeans and beloved blankets, fixing broken zippers, and reattaching buttons. I can say that I can do all these already because my mother and grandmother have taught me over the years. (You know, if someone wanted to get me and my future family a sewing machine for a wedding or Christmas present, I wouldn't complain.)  My latest achievement is I successfully sewed together a skirt that has a zipper on the side and I will be be wearing often. It cost $7.00 to make it verse buying one from the store for at least $25! The pictures are not the best so please forgive me :)
